Disclaimer: Not mine, damn it.

A/N: So many of you loved my story 'The Past is the Past' I have decided to grace your minds with the sequel. Haha I'm so cocky, look at what all your wonderful reviews have done to me, they have given me a big head.

Oh and I still need a beta reader. Come on, I know someone out there wants to be mine!

Focus on the Future

The window in her bedroom was open and the cool summer breeze made the sheer, scarlet curtains flutter in its wake. Ginny had only just arrived at the Burrow moments ago and she already missed Hogwarts. Well maybe not so much Hogwarts but a certain blond hellian whom she had once heard someone refer to as the Prince of Darkness. He was her Prince of Darkness, she wondered if that made her the Princess of Darkness and she giggled to herself.

"Hey Munchkin, it's time to eat dinner!" George called to her from the bottom of the stairs and she could hear her mother yelling at him.

"I told you to go and get Ginny, not yell for her, I could have done that myself!" Ginny shook her head and smiled, she had missed her family too.

"Sorry Mum!" She heard George answer back as he ran out the back door, probably to start brainstorming with Fred on some new practical joke for their shop. She looked at the unpacked trunk and all the school books stacked on the desk and sighed, they would just have to wait till later.

It was defiantly a sight to be seen, the Burrow during dinner time with every Weasley accounted for, plus the usually extra heads. Fred and George were flinging peas at each other from across the table, Fleur was making puppy dog eyes at Bill, Percy tried and failed to stop the flying peas only to have them now being flung at him, Arthur was asking Harry tons of questions about muggle objects, Hermione had a book propped in front of her, Charlie was explaining something about a new breed of dragons to Bill, Ron stuffed his face with as much food as he could fit on his plate (a firm believer in "Whoever eats the fastest gets the most…") and Molly was just sitting down to the table after having cooked a delicious meal.

"Come and eat Ginny, you look like you have been starved, all skin and bones! Are they feeding you enough at that school these days?" She quarried and started piling food on a plate for her youngest and only daughter.

"No Mum, they have a shortage of food at Hogwarts and it has to be rationed out accordingly." Fred joked at his mother's expense. She just huffed and warned her husband to stop pestering the poor boy, meaning Harry, and to let him eat. Those things could wait till after dinner.



Harry was glad for the escape, even though he liked talking to Mr. Weasley about muggle inventions, sometimes even he didn't know exactly how to explain things.

Ginny smiled at this welcoming scene and dove right into the fun by sending a pea flying across the room hitting George square on the forehead and she immediately knew she had started a war as the twins turned what was left of their ammo on her.

Half way through dinner there was a knock at the door.

"Who in the world could that be?" Molly asked out loud but now Harry and Ron had both joined in on the pea fight and no one even heard the knock but her. She hurried to the door and took a second to fix her hair and take off her apron before opening it.

"Mrs. Weasley… I'm looking for Virginia." Molly was in shock, it seemed, at who was standing in her doorway, she recognized him easily. The war was now in full swing and no one at the table even noticed as she moved aside allowing him entrance.

"Ginny dear" She said loudly so everyone turned. "Someone is here to see you." A few of the Weasley's jaws dropped at the sight of him, Draco Malfoy.

Ginny stood up quickly.

"What are you doing here Draco?"

"Did she just call him 'Draco'?" Ron asked still not trusting his eyes. Hermione gave Ginny a questioning glance but didn't say anything. Harry glared daggers at Malfoy and then stood up from the table too.

"What do you want with her?" He demanded thinking only of the horrible stunts he could be trying to pull.

"Calm down Potter, this is between Virginia and me."

"Come on lets go out back." Ginny said not really know what to think, a million reasons for him coming to her house to see her were running through her head but none of them made any sense.

"Are you just going to let them go out there alone Mum?" Ron asked not knowing if he was dreaming or if this was real still.

"Well, I'm sure there is obviously a good reason he's come to see Ginny and I don't think he's quite dim witted enough to try anything funny in her own home seeing as how we out number him significantly." Arthur said turning back to his dinner. "I'm sure the boy is harmless for now."

"Don't you think it's just a bit odd though?" Fred and George asked simultaneously.

"I'm sure she'll explain everything later, now let's all get back to dinner." Molly said trying hard to act casual.



The rest of dinner was eaten as quietly as possible, everyone was trying to listen to see if they could over hear any part of the two's conversation but they couldn't hear anything.
